Chelsea's impressive start to the Women's Super League continued with a commanding 3-0 victory over Liverpool. This win marked their sixth consecutive triumph this season. Goals from Mayra Ramirez, Guro Reiten, and substitute Agnes Beever-Jones secured the result at St Helens Stadium. Two quick goals before halftime gave Chelsea control, with Ramirez scoring after Johanna Rytting Kaneryd's shot hit the post and Reiten capitalising on a Liverpool goalkeeper error.

The match saw Chelsea dominate possession, holding 66.6% of the ball and making 48 touches in Liverpool's penalty area. In contrast, Liverpool managed only 17 touches in Chelsea's box. The Blues took 16 shots, with nine on target, resulting in an expected goals (xG) figure of 2.74. Despite Liverpool's previous 4-3 win over Chelsea in May, any hopes of a repeat were dashed when Beever-Jones added a third goal in the final minute.

Chelsea's manager Sonia Bompastor has set a new record by winning her first four away games in the league. The team has scored 17 goals away from home this season, surpassing the previous record of 11 set by Jonas Eidevall at Arsenal. This achievement places Chelsea among elite company as they become only the third club to win their first six matches of a WSL season, following Arsenal and Manchester City.

Currently, Chelsea trails league leaders Manchester City by just one point but holds a game in hand. Meanwhile, Liverpool sits sixth on the table ahead of their upcoming Merseyside derby against Everton. The Blues' strong start highlights their potential to challenge for the title this season.

This victory not only maintains Chelsea's perfect start but also underscores their dominance in the league so far. With Bompastor at the helm, they are poised to continue their impressive form as they aim for further success this season.
